why do people smoke?

i smoke out of habit now, i started when i was 14 or so. I think it had to do with my dad being a big smoker too. Now i smoke between half a pack and a pack a day. Usually a cig will calm my nerves, but Im guessing my nerves were rattled because I hadnt had a cig for a awhile... sooo. It is hard to quit too, ive tried many of times. Now I just do care. I excercise everyday and I am a pretty good runner and I can pass all the Armys physical fitness test easily enough.

But ya smoking sucks I wish I wouldve never started, and it will probally take a scare for me to quit permanently.

The key difference between you and MOST people is they smoke and sit on their ass so it stacks up against them. True you probably can not run as much as you should be able to without smoking but at least you are doing physical activity. You are still better off than most chain smokers I would think.

Two things: it curbs appetite and reduces stress. That's sometimes the only reason people will smoke. That and some people just don't care that they could die.

i've never smoked and probably never will
i agree with kagom anyways
most people smoke because it curbs appetite and reduces stress
or just because they don't care

I smoke hookah because it's relaxing and not as bad as regular cigs.

I used to smoke cigarettes heavily last winter, but I was up to almost a pack a day on a weekend day and about a half pack on weekdays. After awhile I started rolling my own cigarrettes, and then got away from that idea and had a pipe now and again. I might have a cig every few days or so, mainly because it is nice to have one after smoking some marijuana. Tomorrow is going to start a hazy weekend. I'm getting hooked up cheap with a 1/2 oz. of marijuana, a two 1.75s of tequila, and a pack of marb reds. I don't intend to consume all of that in the next 3 days, but I just like looking forward to getting some 'party materials' for the next couple of weeks.

Sounds like an awesome set-up ya got there!

Well, I can't really party to my fullest due to having certain reports due Dec. 8. Oh, and work.

What happened to the the church boy from 2 years ago -.-

Isn't your dad a pastor or something.

And Gunbound.

Yea, bring them both back.

And holy shit, Sov you crazy motherfucker...you DOUBLED my post count...what the fuck, slow the fuck down asshole.

Basically you mean... bring this forum back to what it was before WoW came out? lol

People change, Sov. It really sucks when your parents shelter you and then you meet the world and are confused as hell as to whether your religion has any credibility whatsoever.


Arkantis usually works and hangs out with a drink in his hand.
Don't see Gunbound much outside of school.

I started smoking weed and cigarettes early on in High School, like 75% of my class. Years later, I still regularly use both of them and enjoy it. I like smoke in my lungs. It's become a natural feeling to me, and it soothes me. I don't give a fuck if smoking is bad for you or will shorten my lifespan. Do I choose to avoid Boston or New York City because I'm afraid some angry kid and his friends are going to jump me when I leave a bar at night? Hell no.

Eventually I'm gonna bite the dust, hopefully later rather than sooner. But whenever it happens, I'll be happy that I fucking enjoyed myself every day, and always tried to have a good time.

Can you the say the same about yourself when you're camping on a message board for hours a day, convincing people you've never met to not inhale anything harmful?

Good post.

very good post

I smoke quite frequently.

Cigarettes or Weed?

Weed, cigarettes have been one or two every few days.
